So my friend was talking about me just before I came in the room...he said.."speak of the devil"!
Should I be offended or does he know something I dont?

It's an expression. Don't read into things like that any ore than what it indicates - it's a common term used to express mild suprise at the appearance of someone that was being mentioned.

No, you don't. It means you came when the where talking about you and they weren't expexting you. Nothing more.
It came from the medieval superstiction about saying the name of the devil was the way to call him.

speak of the devil means that when someone is talking about you and you pop up (so its just a saying when you say sompin about people)

It's an expresion. Like when your talking about someone and then they appear all of a sudden. It's not an insult it's just like saying what a coincidence.

It's just an expression, no worries. :)
Unless...do you feel horns coming out of the side of your head? Might want to have that checked out...
